here is a sampling of some of the comments I’ve read in my email as well as on forums where people have “read” my blog…..

you rail against AA and you’re angry that you followed the steps while others didn’t? Sounds like the reasoning of a drunk, if you ask me

Shove a shark in your asshole, you fucking hump.

I don’t want you to drink Harry. It would be better if you just died and stopped your whining. Be thankful that you got sober and move on

You obviously still have issues if you make a blanket statement like that. Because it doesn’t work for YOU doesn’t mean it doesn’t do well for someone else. Grow up, accept your own shit, and find something that works for you

You got to surrender, dude.

Dumb ass, nobody wants to read your shit, nobody cares about your shit,

I’m not in AA, I’ve never been in AA, no one in my family is or has been in AA. I don’t even drink except maybe 2 or 3 times a year. So, as with your anti-AA rants, you’re full of shit.

More often than not addicts replace one addiction for another. this guy apparently has replaced his addiction to alcohol with being a helplessly compulsive asshole

What a babbling goof!

you are a pathetic person. You are certainly entitled to an opinion of whether AA has worked for you or not, but to denigrate the entire organization simply because it didn’t work for you is illogical AA like becoming an alcholic and a myriad of other things are designed so that one only gets out of it, what they put into it. If you hate it, fine, dont go. it may not be the best idea to whine and cry because your personal experience wasnt the bestObviously, you are mentally ill. AA/NA etc. is the ONLY thing that works for those of us that were hopelessly addicted to drugs and alcohol. I am living proof. I was an addict/alcoholic for 20 years and because of NA I am now a stand up member of society

shut the fuck up. AA/NA has helped millions of people, what have you done you ignorant fuck face. Go stick your head in the oven you mother fucker

AA has worked for many people, that’s all I need to know. If it didn’t work for you, fine. Trying to keep people away from it because you didn’t get what you wanted out of it just plain sucks

Too bad “Harry” doesn’t get it. He’s the one responsible for himself - not mommy, daddy, or any other living entity. Stop blaming others, suck it up, and get the fuck on with your life

Well thats not all of it but you get the idea. I was expecting the hate mail, but this was much more. I couldnt make sense of it. It was like they read a sentence or two and then wrote what they wrote. The simple one liner name callings werent a big deal; small minds small sentences. But some of the above kinda got me mad. They just didnt have the time to read the whole blog but had the time to write a hate mail………….

AND THEN I GOT IT. I understood what I was seeing. I didnt see past the words the first few days of reading these comments. But then it became clear after I let the data sink in.

This batch of email and forum comments was an exact scale model of my personal experience with just about ANY problem I’ve had in sobriety! This seemingly disposalable bag of hate emails was a goldmine! These were my “exibits A through Z”!

exihibits of what? Of the fact that NO ONE GIVES A SHIT. NO ONE CARES TO HEAR IT.

Just like I’ve been saying lately. Just like I already knew way back in elementary school! And EXACTLY opposite of that AA’s 12 steps and big book promise.

None of these people took the time to read the whole blog. Some of these people even admited they had zero knowledge of AA or any one in AA; yet they took the time to call me names.

WHY? Because THAT’s the way the world is. Here I was, almost set to never mention these emails and forum postings and toss them away, and they turned out to be perfect for display.

THIS IS how the world works. No loving God, No fellow man looking out for each other.

Feeling sorry for myself? No that was last year when I got forced to live with 2 practicing crack addicts. I am doing MUCH better this year. This year I know whats wrong and how it got that way. Its only whining if you dont want to hear it.

And if you dont want to hear, then get the hell off my blog. Make Sense?

But if what you mean isnt “stop whining” but “Stop writing those bad things about the 12 steps”, that’s different. PAY ME, I’ll stop. Money works. Praying is for those about to die. I’ve got plans on starting to live again.

well its time for a meeting with the boys and then a burger and cigars. Til they yank my credit cards, I get to live like a real person for one more week.
